i want to be king

Chapter 97 I'm a Little Bird
It's lunch time every day again.

Pepe was still as usual, busy in the front room and back kitchen.

He is quick and quick, and he always does the work of three or four people alone, which makes the restaurant owner very satisfied.

The point is that his salary is low.

But even so, he still often finds opportunities to deduct his salary, scolds and even insults him at every turn.

In his view, Pepe is a cheap labor force, let him take whatever he wants.

"Pepe, are you dead? Why hasn't table six been wiped clean?"

"Pepe, hurry up and wash the dishes behind."

"The guest in the box accidentally poured something, Pepe, hurry up and clean it up, hurry up."

"Don't stand there for me to be lazy, Pepe, be careful that I deduct your wages."

"Hurry up and get to work, you dead man!"

……

When Su Dong pushed open the door of the restaurant, he just heard the owner of the restaurant reprimanding Pepe arrogantly.

The Brazilian clenched his fists tightly, clenched his teeth, and his muscles stretched out, but he was still holding back his anger.

He dared not speak out because he didn't want to lose this part-time job.

But Su Dong couldn't help it, and rushed over, pushed the fat restaurant owner away, and stood in front of Pepe.

"Keep your mouth clean. He is an employee you hired, so it doesn't mean you can let you insult him!"

Pepe was surprised to see Su Dong appearing suddenly, and didn't react for a while.

"Who are you?" The restaurant owner was also shocked.

"I am his friend."

"Friend?" The restaurant owner came to his senses, and sneered, "He is my employee. During work, I can scold him as much as I want? If you are unhappy, you can quit and leave immediately!"

He was right, and Pepe didn't dare to leave.

If he dared to leave, the Brazilian would have left long ago.

Unexpectedly, this time Su Dong really took Pepe's hand, turned around and left.

This time, not only the restaurant owner was surprised, but even Pepe was taken aback.

"Okay, if you have the ability to get out of this door, don't come back for me!" The restaurant owner said harshly.

"Su." Peipei wanted to break free from Su Dong's hand when she was about to leave.

He understood Su Dong's kindness, but he didn't want to lose this part-time job.

Su Dong still grabbed his hand vigorously, turned his head and smiled at him, and said, "Don't worry, if you continue to stay in this kind of place, you are also burying talents. Ronnie and I have already contacted you, so hurry up and follow me."

Pepe is at a loss, what do you mean?
What did Su Dong and Ronnie secretly help him with?
Although he had only been in contact with Su Dong for a month, he knew Su Dong well, knew that Su Dong's temperament was not like Ronnie's jumping off, and would not do such things for no reason, so he immediately stopped hesitating, took off the waiter's clothes and hats, threw them on the table behind him, and ran out of the restaurant as if flying out of the restaurant under the gaze of everyone in the audience.

The moment she walked out of the restaurant, Pepe felt like a bird flying out of the cage, and her heart was relaxed.

…………

…………

Ten minutes later, in the living room of Su Dong's rented villa.

"Jorge, he is Pepe."

Su Dong brought Pepe to Mendes.

After the battle of Ugo Viana in the summer, Mendes has officially made his name in Portuguese football.

He made the entire Portuguese football world clearly see that Vega's monopoly of Portuguese Super League players going out to play has been completely broken.

He, Jorge Mendes also has his own channel, without the help of Vega, he can also operate Portuguese Super League players to the four major leagues, including the most difficult Premier League.

And this is Mendes' strongest challenge to Vega.

No one wants to listen to someone forever, players and clubs alike.

Jose Vega used to cover the sky with his hands because there was no competition, but now it is different.

Mendes at this moment can be said to be full of energy and enthusiasm in everything he does, but what is even more rare is that he has not become complacent because of the success just now.

On the contrary, he handled the relationship with the players more carefully, especially Su Dong and Ronnie.

He even maintained enough respect for such an insignificant kid like Pepe.

"Su gave me your game video, as well as some of your training videos. I also showed it to the technical director of Sporting Lisbon, Aurelio Pereira. He is very interested in you, and Su and Ronnie strongly recommend it, so..."

When he said this, Mendes smiled and looked at Su Dong and Ronnie beside him, both of them had smiles on their faces.

Obviously, they are very concerned about Pepe, the former enemy and current friend.

Pepe was completely dumbfounded.

He never knew that Su Dong had done so many things for him without his knowledge.

"So, Sporting Lisbon decided to invite you to their pre-season training for the new season."

A pie fell from the sky suddenly, and Pepe was knocked out for a while, feeling a little overwhelmed.

After a long time, he suddenly realized a problem.

"I would love to go to Sporting Lisbon, but I still have a contract with Maritimo."

"I know." Mendes nodded with a smile. "I have already communicated with Maritimo. They have no problem. You are going to Sporting Lisbon this time in the name of trial training. The time is the entire pre-season training. If you can meet the requirements of Sporting Lisbon, they will come forward to pay a transfer fee to Maridimo and give you a professional contract."

"Of course, if you don't perform well, you can only return to Maritimo."

It seems that Pepe still needs to work hard on his own, but for Pepe who is desperate, it is definitely a long drought and rain.

Sporting Lisbon and Maritimo, these are two teams that are not at the same level at all.

The former is a wealthy family, even if they perform poorly, they can occupy the top three of the Portuguese Super League by virtue of their background, while Maritimo is far inferior to Sporting Lisbon in terms of financial resources and reputation.

Seeing that Pepe was stunned, Mendes thought he was a little worried, so he added, "Don't worry, I read your profile and it's really good. Su and Ronnie strongly recommended it to me and Aurelio. I believe that once you go, you will basically stay."

Peipei's eyes turned red when she heard that, and then she looked at Su Dong, which became even hotter.

Thousands of words finally converged into two choked words, "Thank you."

Both Su Dong and Ronnie came over and punched Pepe with a smile.

"For the next month or so, don't do part-time jobs, just train with us. I'll pay for the expenses, and you still send money to your family every month." Su Dong said straightforwardly.

"How can this work?" Pepe was anxious.

"At that time, I lent it to you first, and then returned it to me after you signed a contract with the team and got your salary."

"That's right, that's right, Su is our richest man now, not short of this money." Ronnie also chimed in with a smile.

He still remembered that Su Dong's monthly salary was [-] euros higher than his, which made him very envious.

You know, when Su Dong first joined the team, their status was reversed.

This also made Ronnie keep urging himself in his heart to work harder.

Quaresma has already taken the lead, but Su Dong, a good friend, cannot be ahead of him.

……

In the end, Pepe couldn't say enough about Su Dong and Ronnie, and agreed to Su Dong's proposal.

This is also out of safety considerations.

Although he performed well in Maritimo, he will go to Sporting Lisbon next, where the strongest players in the Portuguese Super League are gathered, and Pepe dare not blindly push him.

Mendes knew that Pepe's agent was not good, so he just kept on doing nothing. Anyway, he had already contributed to Pepe's going to Sporting Lisbon, so he signed Pepe directly.

In this way, Pepe is under the same agent as Su Dong and Ronnie.

…………

…………

Pepe's joining did not change Su Dong and Ronnie's training plan, but Nuno Cruz specially arranged some training programs for him to help him make pre-season reserves and adjust his competitive state.

In addition, Su Dong also paid for Pepe's yoga tuition and asked him to practice yoga with them every morning.

This made Pepe feel even more grateful.

But the unlucky Brazilian boy also found sadly that the beautiful yoga instructor Melissa in his dream turned out to be a middle-aged old woman, which made him very collapsed for several days.

In the following period of time, the three of them continued to conduct heavy and boring retreat training in Madeira Island, turning their ears off the trifles of the outside world.

During this process, Su Dong only had contact with the outside world twice.

One time was the official announcement of Ugo Viana's official transfer to Newcastle. Sudong called Ugo Viana and congratulated the Portuguese midfielder on his landing in the Premier League.

Ugo Viana also said with a smile on the phone that he met the famous coach Robson in the Premier League.

"Su, the old man specifically told me about you, and Ronnie and Ricardo."

"I heard that many Premier League teams have heard of your name. Keep working hard. I believe you will soon be able to leave the Portuguese Super League and land in the four major leagues."

This was something Su Dong had never thought of before.

It turns out that his name has already been known by a famous coach like Robson, and it is conceivable that other people must be the same.

Ferguson and Wenger have also heard of him?
Thinking about it, Su Dong felt that this was something to be very proud of!
This also made him more energetic in training, as if he had endless energy all over his body.

He now wants to improve himself as soon as possible, and perform better in the new season. It is best to continue the previous season, no, to perform better and better than last season.

One more thing is that André Cruz has agreed to stay.

After making the decision, the Brazilian central defender immediately called Su Dong in Madeira Island and told him his decision.

"I heard that you have been retreating in Madeira Island for the last month. It is best to train yourself stronger. When you come back, I will continue to abuse you!" Andre Cruz said in a tone that I am addicted to abuse.

Su Dong laughed and agreed.

Hang up the phone, turn around and sell André Cruz to Pepe.

"Don't you want to learn your skills and polish your defensive skills? Andre is the best central defender I have ever seen, even better than Porto's Andrade and Carvalho. They are still young."

"So, when you get to the team, don't think about anything else, just hang out with him, it must be right."

Pepe nodded again and again, he had heard of Andre Cruz.

An old central defender who couldn't play in AC Milan.
